I've gotten so many free offers over the years that my DB free account has about 9GB of storage, but maybe they don't do those bonuses any more. The sticking point for me is not storage, but number of computers you can connect to one account. They limited it to 3, which is a deal-breaker for me. So I can't add any more, but at least they didn't boot off existing ones... my account page says "you are using 26 of your 3 connections".
Why would I use Dropbox with only 2 GB while Google offers 15 GB?
...because Google Drive does not support block-level sync (e.g. if you make a 1 byte change to your 4GB file, it will update your cloud account by uploading the whole 4GB file again).
I'm in the process of moving away from Dropbox myself, so I'm no apologist, but this is a Dropbox advantage over some competitors. I'm evaluating Pcloud now, which also offers block-level sync.
Their limitations are asinine. In particular, not being able to use an encrypted FS is ridiculous.
Doubly so, because it has worked on Linux encrypted filesystems since day 1, and continued to work until they enforced their requirement. They simply chose to not support it anymore, with no good explanation.
They could less about content creators now, so no worries there.
That aside, how much did this battery cost? Less than $385M, I assume since it's part of a plan that cost $385M. If it, and its infrastructure (the building it's in, the wiring, etc) actually cost the $90.2M that another article says it did, then it'll pay for itself in three years or so. And then they'll have the hassle of recycling it. Won't that be fun?
It's stated right in the summary that the battery project cost $66M.
I see what they added (nothing of interest to me), but with each release I'm more concerned about which functionality I use daily that they decided to take out.
Oh, believe me, I would LOVE to give Mozilla some feedback about how they're doing with Firefox! Somebody might get injured though.
Most importantly, it's really a feature that makes more sense as an extension than as a built-in part of the browser. As an add-on it can evolve separately from the browser, and multiple extensions can compete with each other (and fill in different niches) without having to go through the trouble of developing a full web-browser.
If they would allow addons to alter the UI beyond adding single little button, you'd be right. Unfortunately, they don't. There is no way to duplicate the Live Bookmark feature because, as of FF 57, support for altering the UI like that has been removed.
Seriously, I would like a month to go by without Firefox removing some feature I use daily. I'm already stuck on FF 56 indefinitely due to continuing lack of multi-row tabs on later versions. Live bookmarks are the way I keep up with news... pull down the feed, see at a glance anything I might want to read, like this story for example. I use it to keep up with Craigslist ads too, based off search queries. I've never found anything nearly as convenient.
Why would I want to use a separate program to see browser links?
People enjoyed working 4 days, and getting paid for 5. Who would have thought?
Tab me plus is critical for me, utterly critical, took 3 Chrome plugins to replicate it, but it's behaving as intended now.
Were you able to get multiple rows of tabs on Chrome? That's the feature I miss most after Tab Mix Plus got axed by the new Firefox "improvements".
But the fingerprint sensor is on the back -- I wouldn't call that properly set up. Maybe I'm an anomaly, but the majority of the time I unlock my phone, it's sitting flat on a surface.
This company has ways to get at the data stored on the phone, not to remove the iCloud lock and reactivate. Activating an iPhone goes through Apple, so there's really no way around this.
As I type this, I currently have 70 tabs open in my Firefox window, which is pretty typical for me. Until there is an extension available to show these in multiple rows, I'll have to stick with 56 out of necessity.
